Splendid oil on canvas portrait of Count Bailiff Ludovico Caprara (1731-1812), as indicated by the inscription inside the tabula ansata at the bottom of the painting's frame. The family coat of arms and the Latin motto "nosce te ipsum" (translated as "know thyself") are also depicted on the tabula ansata. Ludovico Caprara, son of Countess Maria Vittoria Caprara and Count Marquis Francesco Raimondo Montecuccoli, was a knight of the Order of Malta, as also indicated in the painting by the cross he wears around his neck and woven into his jacket. Within the order, he held the role of Bailiff of Armenia. The portrait, full of realism and finely detailed, portrays him with his gaze directed towards the viewer, in clothing and with a wig typical of the time. In his right hand he holds the baton, a symbol of his nobility. The work, probably attributable to a Bolognese artist of the late 18th century, certainly exudes history and elegance. The painted part is in excellent condition, as restoration has already been carried out. The frame, on the other hand, needs restoration and the price includes the restoration of the corners. The frame, in carved and gilded wood, is contemporary with the painting. Measurements: H x W x D overall 93 x 67 x 5cm; H x W work only 73 x 55cm
